itnnounrrnirnt Confirmed.
Nf.w York, Nov. 11.—The startling
announcement that Mrs. Nack had con
fessed the murderof Win. Ouldensuppe,
and implicated her lover, Martin
Thorn, was confirmed when court as
sembled bv Judge August A. Weller,
who is assisting District Attorney
Youngs in the prosecution.
THORN HKAKS THE NEWS.
r Judge Smith, accompanied by Dis
trict Attorney Walter Jay Cox, of Suf
folk county, took his scat on the bench
when the hour for opening court ar
rived. The jurymen theu took their
places in the jury-box and Thorn,
handcuffed to Capt. Methven, came in
a minute later and shook hands with
his counsel.
i ue tatter iitiormea uie prisoner lor

Rack anil Thorn's face Unshed.
k MRS. NACK IN COURT.
At sixteeu minutes to ten the main
door of the courthouse opened, and
Mrs. Nack, accompanied by her lawyer
and Deputy .Sheriff Debraggu, walked
up the center of the court.
Thorn eyed her closely as she stood
within a yard of him, but she avoided
his gaze. She was soon placed on the
stand, and under the examination of
Judge Waller began the recital of her
story, leading up to the time that she
had left her husband and was living
with (iuldensuppe at 4119 Ninth avenue.
STORY OK TUB CRIME.
(Iuldensuppe was known there ns her
husband. Thorn came there to board.
Thorn and (iuldensuppe had a tight,
ami (iuldensuppe licked Thorn, (iul
densuppe kicked Thorn down-stairs.
Thorn pulled a revolver and fired one
shot at (iuldensuppe, but did not hit
him.
“After It days,” said Mrs. Nack. “a man came
to my house for Thorn's clothes. I told the man
that Thorn was sick in the hospital, but gave
him the clothes. Thorn came back three days
later with his face and eyes black and blue and
Ills neck swollen. He asked me for money."
"Why did he ask you for money?" asked
Judge Weller.
8IIK GAVE THORN MONEY.
"He got no work and J gave him money." re
plied Mrs. Nack in broken English.
When Thorn went away I promised to pay
his board bill until he could get work. I mot
Thorn after this at Twenty-third and Ninth
avenue and gave him l.’O. Thorn was very bit
ter against (Iuldensuppe and wanted to kill
him. Thorn said; ‘Woman, I love you.’ I
said: T am a married woman;' T know bet
ter: you arc not,’ replied Thorn. ‘Your hus
band lives in Astoria.’
THORN WANTED TO KILL GUDDKNSUPPE.
"Thorn again said he wanted to killGulden
suppe. I said: 'Martin, don't kill (Iuldensuppe;
no, kill me.’ One day I had another talk with
Thorn, and he again say ho will kill Guldea
Suppc. I say no, he say yes. One night Thorn
and me quarreled. Martin grabbed me by the
throat and held me till blood came from my
nose and mouth. I then had talk with Thorn
about hiring a house at Woodside. We went
out to see the house and Thorn offered the
woman who had the key money, but she would
not take it, We then returned to the saloon in
New York. This man owned the Woodside
bouse and
thorn paid him fifteen dollars
In rash for one month's rent of the Woodside
house I think Thorn gave the name of llraun
when he hi ml the ‘house. Thorn took the re
ceipt, and told the landlord he did not know
when he would move in. Then Thorn told me
that he would kill Guldensuppe In the Ninth
avenue house, and put his body in a trunk and
send it away. I said: No, don't do this.'
Thorn then told me to bring Guldensuppe to
the Woodside house, and ho would kill him
there.
I 11AD‘to DO ALL MARTIN TOLD MK TO
DO. ”
Gradually the lawyer led the witness
to the morning of Friday, June 25, the
day that the crime was committed.
She said she and Guldensuppe left New
York between nine and ten o’clock that
morning, and after they had crossed
the ferry, they boarded a trolley car
which left them at the Woodside cot
tage.
HI1K HAD THE KEY OF THE HOUSE.
• I had the key of the house.” she said “I
cpeneil the front door. I told Guldensuppe to
enter and examine the house while I went into
the yard, lie went up stairs and 1 heard a
allot. Martin Thorn came running down and
when he met me he said: T shot him: he's
dead He was very excited and l was half
dead. said the self-confessed murderess
breathing heavily.
"What did you do then'r" asked Judge Weller.
AN INTERIM OF ABSENCE.
"He asked mo to go home and come back at
five o'clock."
lu relatiug what hail been done with
the various parts of Gulclensuppe’s
corpsil, Mrs. Nack said that when she
went hack to the cottage at five o’clock.
Thorn had everything tied up in par
cels. some of them in the oil cloth that
she had purchased in Long Island City.
When they were ready to leave the cot
tage she took one parcel and Thorn
another. Hers contained Gnldensuppe’s
clothing, and in Thorn's parcel was
THE DEAD MAN'S HEAD,
which he had incased in plaster paris
iu the wash tub of the cottage. They
went directly to a ferry—which one
she did not know—and she went to the
front of the boat and Thorn stayed on
the rear. Soon after the boat was in
mid-stream Thorn rejoined her and
said he had thrown the head over
board. On reaching New York she
went to her house where she
BURNED THE PARCEL CONTAINING TUB
CLOTHING.
On June 2t> they went back to the
cottage, und found the other bundles
still there. On leaving Thorn carried
one of the huudles with him, and they
again crossed the ferry, and Thorn
stayed ou the rear of the boat until it
had nearly reached New York, when
he came to her and said that he had
dropped his bundle in the water. It
contained a part of the dismembered
body.
TIIE OTHER HUETH.EE DISPOSED op.
The woman then told in detail how
the other packages were brought in
the surry anti deposited in the river
and the Ogden woods, near High.
Bridge.
The woman spoke fairly intelligible
English, with a very strong accent.
INTERESTED LAWYERS.
During the recital Thorn's lawyers
left their accustomed seats near the
prisoner and were accommodated with
chairs closer to the witness. Thorn
listened to every word with his lips
closely pressed, his hands clasped and
resting on his knees. Frequently hia
lips became dry and parched, and occa
sionally he would moisten them with
his tongue. His face bore that same
8TOI.II> LOOK OP INDIFFERENCE
which it has worn all through, but hia
eyes were unrestful. When he was
not ga/.ing at his accuser, he was cast
ing furtive glauces around the court
room and up into the galleries which
were crowded with men and women.
During her direct examination Mrs.
Ntick broke down and cried, but this
had no effect on the prisoner, and if
anything, he seemed to enjoy her dis
comfiture as the old-time grin played
around his mouth.
rnoTOORAI'HH OF Ol'LDKNSUrPE IDKNTI
TIKI).
Attorney Weller showed Mrs. Naek
four photographs of (iuldensuppe,
which she identified. He asked:
••Why do you make this statement?”
Mrs. Naek replied: ”1 don't want to hare it
oil my mind."
Then she began to cry. She tossed
about in the witness chair, used her
handkerchief and sobbed for some time.
Her emotion affected nearly everyone
in the court-room. It was some min
utes before she resumed her testimony,
and she said:
”1 make this statement of my own free will.
I want to get it off my conscience. No promise
of mercy has been made me. I wanted to clear
my mind. I don't care what hangs over me or
what they do with me."
T11K C BOS8-E X A M IN ATI O N.
Mr. Howe began his cross-examina
tion in a very insinuating way, and
made her acknowledge that the house
in Woodside was rented for the sole
purpose of killing (luldeusuppe there;
that she decoyed him there, that when
she brought the oil cloth and other
wrappings it was for the purpose of
packing up the portions of his body
after Thorn would have finished his
murderous task.
Adroitly and cleverly the lawyer
made the woman own up to the most
damning and cold-blooded preparations
for getting rid of her lover.
Mr. Howe continued his cross-exam
ination step by step till he had led the
witness to repeat her whole story as
given in her first confession. It did
not differ materially from that brought
out in the direct examination.
MURDERED BY ROBBERS.

St. Loris, Nov. 11.—Charles Van Bus
kirk, of Venice, 111., was murdered and
robbed in the Big Four railroad yards,
midway between the middle yard office
and Brooklyn, on the east side of the
Mississippi, early Wednesday morning.
His lifeless body was then thrown
across the railroad tracks to be
mangled by passing trains, and thus
cover up the dastardly crime.
A switch engine ran over the body,
not a freight traiu, as was evidently
the intention of .the murderers. The
head was cut off at the neck as neatly
as a guillotine could have done it.
I’he body, when found by a switch
man, was perfectly cold.

THOSE FAIR MILLIONS.
Plenty of Chance for More Pickings
for the Lawyers.
SIXTEEN MORE CONTESTS TO BE FILED.
The Suits Will Be Against the Trust Will,
the Original of Which Was Stolen
From the County Clerk's Office
and Never Recovered.
San Francisco, Nov. 11.—Within s
few days 1« more contests are to bo
tiled in the superior court against the
trust will of the late James G. Fair.
This will was dated September21, 1SU4,
and the original was stolen from the
county clerk's office and never recov
ered. There is certain to be a suit
brought by the three children,
Mrs. Herman Oelriehs, Miss Virginia
Fair and diaries L. Fair. Mrs. Nettie
Craven will probably tile a second, and
a third may be commenced in the name
of an alleged grandchild of 'he de
ceased millionaire. The contests will
be commenced upon the grounds that
ex-Senator Fair was incompetent or in
sane at the time he made the trsust
will, and that he was actiug under un
due influence and duress.
81 Mrs. Craven’s suit will probably be
brought by her as the widow of the ex
senator. Judge Slack’s decision places
her in such a position that she must
tight the trust will if she expects to
get anything at all. The coutcst will
be upon the same general grounds
as that of the three children. It is
stated that the contest of the heirs
will be brought to obtain relief in
case Judge Slack is reversed by the
supreme court in his ruling destroying
the trust clause in the will.
SCHOENBAUM GETS HIS WIFE.
A Ihn« That I’uzzled the \Vlncomln Law
yer*.
Milwaukee, Not. Jl.—Mrs. Robert
Louis Sehoenbauin,nee Simpson, whose
strange case lias been puzzling the law
yers for a week past, has been set at
liberty.
Mrs. Schoeabautn is the woman who
married while “on parole” 'from the in*
dustrial home, and who was arrested
before she left the justice’!!- office,
where the ceremony was performed,
and returned to school.
Mr. Sehoenbauin has not seen his
wife since she was taken from him.
'1 he lawyers have been puzzling their
heads over the case, and concluded
that the industrial school authorities
were right, and that the girl could not
marry without their consent.
Finding he had no recourse to law.
the husband appealed to Gov. Scofield.
The governor, after hearing the ap
peal, said he would grant the woman a
pardon. Before her release, however,
the school authorities were heard. The
governor said the pardon would estab
lish a precedent in such cases.

the Tam worts and Berkshires, the En
gl isli breeds. They sold for $3. 80 per
